Dunk Island is the largest island of the Family Islands Group, off the Queensland Coast in Australia.

It is a truly breathtaking island that balances expansive blue sea vistas with vibrant green tropical rainforests and gardens.  

The island has been called Australia’s most beautiful tropical rainforest island thanks to its sea views, white sand beaches, thriving tropical rainforests.

Visitors to Dunk Island have a variety of possible activities at their disposal.  Located right off the Barrier Reef, snorkeling and scuba diving are very popular pastimes for those who want to investigate and explore the reef.  

Additionally, hikes or walks through the rainforest or along the beaches are never a bad idea when on Dunk Island.  There is one hike in particular that is a must for anyone visiting the island.

It starts right behind the Dunk Island Resort and winds up through the rainforest, across a suspension bridge, and up to the top of Mount Koo-Tal-Oo, which offers stunning views of the whole island and the sea, dotted with other islands in the distance.  

The Dunk Island Resort is the primary accommodation on the island, although camping is also possible.
